Purchased this Black Friday, so only have had a couple days. Will update if anything changes. This LCD-DVD is an excellent value. The picture is crisp. You don't need 1080p at this size, as 720 is just fine. The tuner is excellent - picking up all local stations where my toshiba 32" HDTV picks up two less. DVD works quickly and performs well. Controls are easy to use. Remote is better than most that are typically included with TVs. Very happy so far.

Pros : Attractive Design, Simple Controls, Fast Setup, Good Connection Options, Good color

Cons : Image a little dark when viewed from above or below, Poor Sound, Limited Shadow Detail

Best Uses : Home Gym or secondary TV set.


I set this up in a home gym/guest room, for which it works perfectly.
The Peerless stand, although design-flawed somewhat, works great to get
the screen to a height that can be seen from the elliptical trainer and
then can be re-adjusted to accommodate guests. It is the only stand of
its type that I was able to find.

I think the color was good right out of the box. The movie "Gladiator"
looked deep, contrasty, and colorful just as it was intended to look,
although the blacks don't have quite enough levels. Sometimes it's a
little too dark in the shadows. But overall the colors are true and
vibrant.

It's nice that the TV automatically switches to the DVD player when you
insert a DVD. This TV has excellent side-to-side viewing angles, but not
so great when viewed from above or below, where it gets very dark. You
must have this TV placed at eye-level to see the picture.

Despite these minor drawbacks, I am happy with this set for my gym/guest
room, and you can purchase without worry. Just don't buy this as a
primary TV set. I used AMEX points to purchase for FREE!

Overall this TV and DVD player is awesome for a bedroom, kid's playroom, kitchen, or small space. The sound quality is excellent, especially for watching movies on the DVD player.

The picture is very good with the non-HDTV channels, while it is near perfect on the HD channels and watching movies on the DVD player, but you can tell it is 720p.

The 22-inch screen is just right for our bedroom. The TV was easy to setup and it makes a great secondary TV in the house. I have a dish so I do not use the remote that came with the TV, but I did notice that on the TV's remote there is no channel return button (???), which is strange. Of course it does have a lot of options for running the DVD player, which my dish's remote does not have.

Also, I have not really noticed much lag time between changing channels. However, when I turn on the TV there is about a 7 to 10 second warm up I guess, because the screen just stays black even though the light is green indicating that the TV is on.

Overall, Sharp has made a winning product base-line series. The price was right from Amazon.com, and all I can say is I am happy that I made this purchase.

We were actually looking for a 20" Sharp for our kitchen but found this instead. This is even better, and fits (by a hair) under our upper cupboards. The control buttons are located on the left side of the set for easy access. The picture is stunning and this television picks up digital stations in our area without a converter box. It is very competitively priced. I highly recommend this product.

TV is pretty nice--speakers are just ok, however. Only thing I have noted that is is slow to change channels--not sure if this is the same on all HDTV's or not. This TV is also nice if you are looking to mount it flush on the wall--the power cord and placement of connections on the back facilitate this.

We purchased this TV to replace an older analog 20" set on our boat. The picture is outstanding controls are easy and the remote is very simple. We mounted the unit on a bulkhead looks like a custom install. The addvantage for us is its a bigger set better picture and has a built in DVD player and we can now receive a digital signal.

I am very pleased with this TV. Picture quality is excellent. Sound is very good for bedroom. Also perfect size for watching from 5' to 10'(22")DVD picture quality is great and plays DVD's that I have recorded from another room. Remote takes a little getting used to. But all in all I'm very pleased.

All my TV's are Sharps, I have never had a problem with any of them. This one is no exception. I purchased 2 of these as I was replacing the last of my non-flat screens. The picture is "sharp", colors clear and crisp, and easy to use right out of the box. This is my first with a built in DVD player which I decided on to clear off my bureau of electronics and my night table of remotes! It works great. I still think you can't go wrong with a Sharp.

I have the SHARP 22IN 51 W flatscreen TV. I would like to get speakers that will be compatible with the TV. I have tried some and had to return them because the sound did not come thru. I love the TV but need a stronger sound. Can some advise me

I purchased this TV for the kitchen. The only problem I have is the sound volume does not get loud enough to watch most cable programs. We keep the sound all the way up to 50 which is the highest setting. There is always some noise in the kitchen which makes it very hard to hear the dialog. I never had this problem with a TV before being too low.
